Every reality we know is simply…. our perception of that reality.   Each one of us has our own perspective.  Everything which has happened to us in our lives, from the moment we were born (and maybe even before) has shaped those perceptions.

Every moment, every experience, idea, sight, sound… all influence our next awareness of our next moment.  And for each and every person on this planet, there is a unique and distinct method of percipience.

We can’t help it.  That’s just the way it is.

Truly, it is a wonder that most of us can agree on any given situation.  But for the most part, people’s realities come close to matching up.

But every once in a while, you will meet that very SPECIAL someone…. who is way off the charts.  Over the edge.  Not quite getting the channel to come in clearly.  The very nice picnic is missing a couple of sandwiches.  Maybe that entire discussion if for another time….

But even though there are things which are “agreed” upon…. there are many things which are not.

Yet… as we stand there, so sure of ourselves, that we are absolutely right …. there is no such thing as a one true reality. There is only ‘our’ version of it.  Again, that which is essentially our perception. What we believe to be true…. is only as true as our worldly experience.  And… and…. that is as far as it goes.

There are new discoveries… made by some really smart scientists… that are shaping new ideas about “how everything happens.” As much as we think we may know how life and the universe works I will bet my favorite Sock Monkey, that MUCH of this limited knowledge will be re-written over time.  Again, and again, and again.  You can count my Sock Monkey on it.

There is no truth. There is only perception.  —  Gustave Flaubert

There are things known and there are things unknown, and in between are the doors of perception.  — Aldous Huxley

Miracles happen everyday, change your perception of what a miracle is and you’ll see them all around you.  —   Jon Bon Jovi
